Abstract

The paper gives an overview of a method to assess competencies in a project-based study program which integrates self-organized communities of practice into bachelor/master programs. In addition to the formal curriculum, students are encouraged to participate in a diversity of projects and to use a social software system as a tool for knowledge management within the project groups. Furthermore, this software functions as a mean for reflection and helps to assess students’ learning outcomes based on the portfolio method. To support the students to consciously direct their development of competencies we designed an assessment tool and an accompanying workshop. Furthermore the portability of the results for the modeling and managing of competences in the area of enterprise networks is discussed.
